I had a nice ride Sunday morning. Started in front of Dunkin Donuts at Charleston and Desert Foothills. Nice warm up to the park entrance. Did some stretching at the entrance and then paid my $3. It's a nice climb. The steepest grade I saw on my Edge was 8%, but there could have been some steeper pitches...I wasn't staring at the entire climb. Nothing real noteworthy though. I guess I no longer consider grades like that to be steep, I find them normal. That's a part of everyday riding where I live in Utah. Anyway, I took a right at the highway rolled through Blue Diamond, though I didn't check out the Oasis. I then went to the 159/160 intersection and turned around. I stopped several times for pictures. It was a good ride and definitely put me in a good mood for the rest of the day.
